My first child

What are the appropriate time for my Baby to go around people,  just wanna be careful I'm still pregnant though

Hi and thanks for using the forum.  I am so sorry for my late reply, I missed your question some how.

This is pretty much up to you.  It is OK for friends and families to hold your newborn as long as they are not sick and as long as they wash their hands before holding your little one.  Once your baby is a month or two old, they will be less susceptible to germs and bugs and you won't have to worry too much.  So, you do what you feel comfortable with.  Congratulations.

Bridget

Yea but dont allow people w. Dirty hands hold the baby. Or smell like smoke, dont put the little one in a bubble but their lil bodys.needa stay healthy as possible while they are newborn.

By the same token, bringing up babies in a compulsively germ-free environment is not good for them as they do not develop immunities.

Ppl will be coming to see baby in hosptial qhen they are born. Bunches of loved ones holding them n all that just if they are sick they dont needa be near baby or recently got over something. N make them wash there hands n if they smoke dont let them hold baby til they change shirt in get smoke smell off breath! No need in being too picking but no nees in being careless either. ppl should understand no matter what its ur baby not theirs

Oh, you are probably wondering if she was exposed to millions of germs waiting to infect her. I was the only one who held her and all the guests were savvy enough not to fondle her. They were happy just looking at her.

We were invited to a formal party when my third child was 8 days old. We brought her with us. I breastfed her when she was hungry and put her to sleep on the hostess' bed. But before that she was everyone's wonder. Every man and woman wanted to see this new-born gem.
